Porthallow, Flexible home set on generous plot

Set within an impressive plot of just over an acre, this unique three storey property offers an exceptional combination of space, flexibility and potential. Enjoying beautiful woodland views and situated within easy walking distance of the beach, this is a home that offers far more than first meets the eye.

The property provides versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, together with an impressive self contained annexe and further plans that could offer the opportunity to transform and extend the property even further, subject to the necessary consents. Stepping inside, the heart of the home is the impressive open plan living space. Light and airy, this generous room provides the perfect environment for relaxing with family or entertaining friends. A log burner creates a warm and cosy focal point, while the well appointed kitchen offers an excellent amount of storage and worktop space. The central island provides a fantastic social hub and all worktops have been finished in stone, creating a stylish and practical kitchen. A useful utility room provides additional storage and keeps the white goods neatly away from the main kitchen, while a separate office provides the ideal space for those working from home. The double bedroom on this floor benefits from built in storage, while the modern shower room has been finished in a contemporary style.

From the balcony, steps lead down into the truly impressive gardens. Extending to just over an acre, the grounds combine generous areas of lawn with established woodland, creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with nature. The woodland views further enhance the peaceful setting and offer a rare opportunity to enjoy such extensive grounds so close to the coast.

To the first floor are two further double bedrooms, providing excellent accommodation for family and guests. Adding another dimension to the property is the self contained annexe. Offering genuine flexibility, this could be ideal for a dependent relative, older child, guests or those looking for the potential to generate an additional income. The annexe comprises an open plan living area with kitchenette, a double bedroom and a shower room.

Location – Set on the magnificent Lizard Peninsula, not far from the tranquil creeks of the Helford River, lies one of Cornwall’s most historic coastal villages. Known locally as ‘Pralla’, Porthallow was once a thriving fishing community and home to a busy fleet of pilchard luggers, hence the name of its traditional village pub, ‘The Five Pilchards’. The family owned pub is undoubtedly the hub of the village.

A short walk from the village you’ll find the Fat Apples cafe with its delightful garden.

The gardens offer a wonderful balance of open and natural space, with a generous lawn and patio providing the perfect areas for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the surroundings.

Woodland- One of the most special aspects of the property is its unique setting. Surrounded by approximately an acre of woodland and grounds, the house sits in a wooded valley just a couple of minutes’ walk from the sea, while remaining part of a vibrant village community. Yet once at the property, you feel completely secluded. No other house is visible from the garden, and the sounds are simply birdsong. It feels like a private sanctuary, while the sea and village life are right on the doorstep.

The woodland and grounds would particularly suit someone who loves nature, the coast and creative projects. There is scope to care for and enhance the woodland or explore imaginative uses for the grounds, subject to permissions. This combination of privacy, nature, proximity to the sea and community is exceptionally rare.
